Usain Bolt has confirmed that this summer’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro will be his last.

Bolt, 29, has long eyed the 2016 Games in Brazil as his final Olympic outing – hoping to sign off with another triple gold medal performance after winning the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay in both Beijing and London.

However, his coach recently suggested the Jamaican could continue until the Tokyo Games in 2020, leading to speculation that the sprinter might go for an unprecedented fourth sprint crown in Japan.
